Braid Bar Salon Offers Braiding Services

Braiding Services For $25? Yes, Please!

After several years in the spotlight, the braids trend is still going strong. And that's why I think the Nine Zero One salon in West Hollywood is on to something. For just $25, you can visit the salon's Braid Bar, where a stylist will create the perfect plait of your choice. Pick from: Around the World, two braids on each side joined together in the back; Hollywood Glam, a headband "braid" incorporated in an updo; Venice Hippie, a trendy fishtailed side braid; and NY Chic, a braided headband style. You can also customize your own braid, and for $15 more, throw a shampoo into the mix. For $100, get a shampoo, blow-dry, and braid. This is a business plan I'd definitely like to see more of. How about you?

I had my hair done recently and asked for the Alba braids and the ladies at the salon couldn't braid! It was pretty disturbing. This sounds worth it if you can't quite French braid your own hair and want it done up for an event. Then again, braiding is fun...learn it!

Yea, I feel the pricing is a bit out there for that whole package. What I usually do is when I get a hair cut, I ask my girl to braid back some of my hair after she blows it out. Cheaper and you get a cut, lol. It takes them like 2 seconds. But if I just needed it for a night out, I might consider it.

The idea is good, but I don't understand their prices. They're charging $60 for blow drying? If you want to get braided and you "throw [in] a shampoo" would you have to just sit around and let your hair air dry?
